I grew up in Birmingham, Ala., and I am a die-hard Auburn fan. So I wasn’t exactly happy to see that Georgia beat (the?) Ohio State in the Peach Bowl last night, advancing to the national championship game to defend their title against TCU Horned Frogs. Georgia and Auburn have been facing off almost every year since 1892 in the Deep South’s oldest rivalry. There’s not a lot of love lost between us.
In another sense, though, I was happy to see Georgia win. Not because I dislike Ohio State — I don’t; the Buckeyes played a great game and run a respectable program — but because since moving to Washington, D.C., almost two years ago, hearing the constant slander against the SEC has been almost too much to bear.
